Today was awesome! When we moved here, we left a lot of really good, close friends behind. We've been really fortunate to have good friends wherever we've lived.Back in March we went on a ski trip for a week to Maine. We went with some of our friends, including Brian and Amanda. We also stayed with them for a month after we sold our house and before we left for Germany. I miss our friends from VA.
Many of them have been deployed these last 6 months. I've emailed them asking if they would happen to be coming through Ramstein on their way back to VA. We found out yesterday that Brian was coming through today. (The dates and times of planes leaving the desert are secret, so he had to send Jer the information through a secure computer on base).
Brian (left) and his friend had a 2 1/2 hour layover, so we took them to the KMCC to eat. We also went to the cute pub because they wanted to try some German beer.
It was just so fun to see him and talk again after all these months!
My other friend from WA (stationed with the Army) is in eastern Germany. He and his family came this afternoon to spend the weekend with us. They are also good friends who I really love. (Remember my post a couple of weeks ago about a different type of family in Germany? They are part of that).
It's been a really great day. Today I'm thankful of where I live in Germany. We live at the hub for much of the desert travel. Ramstein is a major base here. Many people from all over Germany will travel to Ramstein on the weekends to shop. I hope, because we live here, we will be able to see many of our old friends coming through from deployments. This is a great place to be.
